ABSTRACT

Using interviews and legal and diplomatic documents, this chapter analyses the
limited evidence available concerning the ability of the ICC to prevent crimes
that are associated with the responsibility to protect. It discusses the
targeted and systematic justice-building processes that appear to have the best
preventive potential, and describes the situations in four countries where the
ICC is currently active and explores whether the ICC has prevented serious
international crimes in those areas. A number of obstacles to the ICC’s
prevention efforts are examined. The chapter tentatively concludes that the
presence of relatively strong national institutions may increase the potential
for the ICC to prevent and/or deter the commission of crimes. Thus, for the long
term, the ICC’s strongest tool for the prevention of crime may be its ability to
convince states to reform their own judicial institutions so that these bodies
have the capacity to protect fundamental human rights.
